Oh man - I usually don't care for burl but something about the green and natural binding does it for me! My countertops feel personally attacked however, hah!

I think this might be the first time in a few years that someone in Europe wasn't the first to leak the BFR release! Hahaha
None of these would tempt me. I'm glad. There are already more than enough BFR guitars from recent collections that I need to own. Haha.
Ok... now that I've seen more pics of the Morse... it's very beautiful. And being that it's green... I like it even more.

I always think of pictures from the space telescopes when I see colored burls like the Morse. Absolutely gorgeous.

My daughter thinks they are gorgeous, especially the Morse. The 7 year old has spoken. 
Ditto. Also, seeing pics of the back of it with that black limba with the green stain... that was the first time the grain of limba wood really wowed me. The way that looks with the grain/stain-- it's almost exactly what I've wanted the body of a Valentine to look like (if I ever become an EBMM artist and I get my custom "Trans Pistachio Burst" Valentine-- that's a good idea of what I want-- with just a slightly darker green burst around the edge). I don't know if ash could look that way or if it would have to be black limba- and I have no idea of the weight of black limba vs swamp ash. But damn, that grain with that particular shade of green is as good as it gets for me. It's too nice to just be relegated to the back of an instrument!
As for that Darkglass bass, I don't care much for that natural finish compared to the regular ones, but I'm sure the Darkglass electronics are incredible in that. I have the Neural DSP Darkglass bass plugin for my DAW/Standalone and I am always grabbing fantastic bass tones with it. Much like how I love the "boost" knob on my Valentines because it's like having a built in overdrive pedal-- It would be so cool to have something akin to that plugin onboard the instrument. Bass is not my main instrument, but sometimes it's the most fun for me to play. I like that partnership with EBMM and Darkglass.

LOVE that Jade burl!! If it was a trem model I'd have bought it already.

I will say, these are probably the first Buckey Burl guitars that I actually don't hate! I actually think they look good!
